All in the title here, folks. For a 250 point kill team I'm bringing two XV8's, four Pathfinders (one with Ion Rifle - taking relentless to move and shoot - one with Rail Rifle - with ignore cover special rule) and ten Fire Warriors.

The table is fairly small with dense urban terrain. I have no idea what I'll be facing, and right now I think I'll take Breachers for the grenades. But any thoughts, opinions, and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

What are you equipping the xv8s with?

Also if you are at odds with which fire warriors to take then take em both. i have a feeling breachers will surprise a lot of people the first time they see em up close

Breachers would probably break killteam balance lol. I'd be shocked if anything they shoot at within 5" is still alive, especially since most killteam games dont allow 2+ armor.

Pretty much this.

By the way you get the same grenades on both Strikers and Breachers, so really you are just deciding about the gun.

Given that you'll be fighting on a terrain dense board I would also recommend the Breachers. The fighting is going to be, for the most part, up close and personal, and that ap3 at close range will be just nasty.

A burst cannon and flamer each. Considering maybe taking Counter-Fire because I want them to provide some tough close-support. At one point I considered plasma for sniping but then I considered the cover and thought against it.

You may wanna consider missile pods instead of counter fire Ive always had good luck with them and then they can take out land speeders or other light vehicles with ease.
